4.2 Lofar Kit
It would be necessary to work out an adequate power supply and data transfer network between the site and the high data rate network node, then the station could immediately be installed. From the technological and engineering point of view, the effort in this case is to be considered rather limited, especially if compared to the scientific and technical revenues. To summarize, with a relatively small economical effort it would be possible to obtain the required equipment to install a LOFAR remote station in Medicina, taking part in the consortium, having immediately all the forementioned advantages; all that with a very small logistic effort. The advantages of this solution would be important also for the consortium itself, since the overall baseline of the radio telescope would result considerably increased, with a consequent improvement of the angular resolution. A great number of relevant benefits could be achieved for Medicina station:
